Faith Chase

There’s a lot of pressure on us to hustle and get ahead. Long hours of work at school or a job are encouraged by society, and working is a good thing. What can become a problem is when we stop seeing the things we gain as gifts and think we’re responsible for what we have in life. If we take this attitude further, it’s easy to start expecting that we should have the best of everything and demand it. Let’s make sure we stay thankful for what we have.

God does have a plan for each one of us, and it’s beautiful. Sometimes it’s hard, and painful, and it’ll bring us to our knees. But that’s where we learn how to be strong through His strength. No matter what season of life we find ourselves in, God has the future ready for us.
